#Liquidity101 Here is a short guide #Liquidity101 — what is liquidity in cryptocurrencies:
⸻
💧 1. What is liquidity?
🔹 It is the ability of an asset to be quickly bought/sold without significantly affecting its price.
⸻
⚖️ 2. High vs. Low liquidity
🔹 High liquidity — easy to trade, small spreads (e.g., BTC, ETH)
🔹 Low liquidity — hard to find a buyer/seller, price “jumps”
⸻
💱 3. Where does liquidity impact?
• On exchanges — speed and stability of transactions
• In DeFi — efficiency of DEX pools
• During large buy/sell — less “slippage” in price
⸻
🧑🌾 4. What is an LP (Liquidity Provider)?
🔹 A user who provides their tokens to a pool and earns from fees (on DEX, like Uniswap, PancakeSwap)
⸻
📌 Tip: Before trading, check the liquidity of the token — otherwise, you might “get stuck” or lose on the spread.
